Ahead of title: Pluto Rocket
Summary: Joe Pidge, king of the neighbourhood, and Pluto Rocket, an alien who's new in town, have become fast friends, with Joe acting as Pluto's guide on her secret mission to discover what life in the neighbourhood is really like. But on Joe's tour (where he shows Pluto the best fire escape and the best garbage can in the world!), it becomes clear that Joe has never actually left his tiny slice of the planet. Pluto encourages Joe to get out of his comfort zone, but Joe delays by creating an outlandish list of supplies they'll need to get before they go! Is Joe Pidge afraid of leaving his safe little neighbourhood? And if that's tough, imagine how Joe feels when his hat, his trademark super-flavio look that helps him stand out from the other pigeons, goes missing. Thankfully, Pluto is here to help save the day
